This is one of the most unique stories I have in prophecy which confirms the truth of God's word over the doubt of a young man. While I was in High school and in 9th grade I was friends with an atheist. He was a good friend of mine and I remember telling him about the Gospel as to witness the truth of Christ's reality before God. He was always interested in talking with me, but did not understand always. Because of his understanding he doubted God.

One day as we were walking to class together, he told me that he wanted to believe in God, but needed proof. As he said this, the Spirit of the LORD came over me and I said to him. "Within a week, God will open your eyes". In my mind, I never thought anything of it and believed that he could one day have his divine encounter with the Holy spirit at Church or something of that nature.

But to my surprise he came to me a week later. While he was sitting at the lunch table with me at our school, I noticed something very different about him. Usually he was very talkative, but after he saw me, he became very quiet and had a real respect for me. Something very unique happened to him, so I asked him what happened and are you ok?

He reminded me of what I told him a week ago and said, do you remember what you said to me? "Withing a week, God will open your eyes?" I said yes of course. He then described a young girl who looked ancient at the same time and who took him to a city in which he was filled with awe. He described everything as it was written in the "Book of Revelation" which is the last book of the bible as it describes heaven.

That night, before he came to school and saw me that day he was in Heaven. The LORD transported him by his word and at the moment of his revelation, a young girl of angelic qualities took him around the city from what he described as a brief tour before paradise. He mentioned that he also saw people there and everybody was so happy, not one person was sad.

This amazing story and revelation before my eyes will live on and I will never forget about his encounter. After he told me his story I gave him my only bible at the time. He was so numb looking that day when I saw him. I will never forget the presence of the LORD upon him, I was amazed just looking at him as beforehand he was an atheist, now believer. With man, things can be impossible, but with God, "Nothing is impossible".
